West Ham defender Reece Oxford quickly settling at Gladbach

West Ham defender Reece Oxford is settling quickly at loan club Borussia Monchengladbach.

Oxford started as Die Fohlen took on Nice and Nurnberg in the last week and he feels he is getting up to speed with the demands of a new league.

Still only 18, Oxford has already played 14 games for the Hammers and has set his sights on plenty more as he looks to further his development with a campaign in Germany.

He explained to whufc.com: “The Bundesliga is probably the closest league to the Premier League, intensity-wise, and the teams are as good as those in the Premier League.

“It's good to go out to Germany, experience the different teams and the different ways to play.

“I want the team to do well and challenge for a Champions League spot, because last year they missed out. Hopefully we can do that and win a trophy too!"
